I recently submitted a question about my 5 gallon vacuum poultry waterer which I greatly appreciate your response.

North Star 8 gallon salt glaze

Question:
I have an 8" salt glaze cover that I think is North Star. The knob is exactly like the one on the shard shown on page 20 in "A Guide to Red Wing Markings" by David Newkirk (1986). The underside is Albany Slip. It has a small chip on the rim that hardly shows from the top and a couple on the underside. I would like to get any information you might have on this piece and approximate value. Thank you, Dayton

North Star Pitcher with grape design

Question:
I have a beautiful, blue shaded, with a grape design, pitcher. It is blue on the outside and sort of gray or maybe a whitish color on the inside and on the bottom.
